All thefe Plants being Natives of 

 warm Countries, muil with great 

 Care be prefer ved in Stoves, du- 

 ring the "Winter j and being replete 

 with a milky Juice, they require 

 very little Moifture : Nor Ihould 

 they be planted in a rich Soil, 

 which is very hurtful to them. 

 They are all (lb far as we are ac- 

 quainted with their Places of 

 Growth) Inhabitants of Rocky 

 hard barren Soils ,• therefore the 

 moft proper Earth for them, is one 

 half Sea-land, one quarter light frefli 

 Earth, and a quarter-part Lime- 

 Rubbifh : This fliould be mix'd up 

 well together two or three Months 

 before it is ufed, obferving to turn 

 it over three or four times, that 

 tlie feveral Parts may be the better 

 united i and afterwards, it will be 

 proper to skreen it, in order to 

 take out the large Stones. 



Thefe Plants are propagated by 

 planting Cuttings : The bell Seafon 

 for this is in 'June or July : The 

 Cuttings fhould be taken off from 

 the old Plants a Week or a Fort- 

 night before they are planted ; du- 

 ring which Time, they fliould lie 

 in a dry fliady Place, that the Part 

 which adher'd to the old Plant 

 may be dry'd and harden'd, other- 

 wile the Cuttings will rot : Then 

 plant them into fmall Half-penny 

 Pots fili'd With the abovemention'd 

 Earth, giving them a little Water 

 to fettle the Earth to them, and 

 let the Pots be fet for a Day or 

 two in a Place where they may 

 have only the Morning Sun j after 

 this, plunge them into a moderate 

 Hot-bed of Tanners Bark,obferving, 

 in the great Heat of the Day, to
